Welcome back to the fold everyone, we hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with fun activities and memorable times with family and friends. Very much back to business, Staples July deals offer a host of discounts on the latest tech, gadgets, and home office gear.

Today, Staples has slashed 20% or $180 off the normal price of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Windows 10 laptop. For $700, with free shipping and delivery, you get a powerful computer with some impressive specs. It’s rocking a 3.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a GeForce MX350 graphics card, for example.

While our Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 review included the AMD-powered model, there was a lot to be said about its display and overall design. Similarly, in the Intel vs. AMD IdeaPad Slim 7 mashup, the AMD model took the title for its performance, but the Intel model was still very much a worthy contender.

All of that is to say that the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 laptop offers some incredible performance and hardware for its price point. You get an Intel Core i5 processor, at 3.6GHz clock speeds, with 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and a 512GB solid-state drive. The 14-inch 1920 x 1080 display is nearly bezel-less, and the visuals are handled by a GeForce MX350 graphics card, instead of onboard graphics. It has 2GB of GDDR5 dedicated VRAM, enough to run most games at medium settings. You also get five USB ports, two of which are USB 3.1 Gen 2 (Type-C), plus an HDMI for video out. The battery should last for 10-12 hours with light browsing or productivity-use, and about five hours with high-performance applications or games.

Staples is offering the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 14-inch Laptop for $700 with free shipping and delivery. That’s $180 or 20% off the full price, which is normally $880. That’s a great deal for most laptops, let alone one with specs of this caliber. We’re not sure how long the deal is going to last, so you might want to hurry if you’re thinking about snagging this impressive piece of machinery.

Shopping for a Back-to-school laptop? These are the laptops I’d recommend
Whether it's lectures, late-night assignments, or streaming after class, these laptops are built to make the next few years a little easier.
Best laptops for back to school 2026 featuring Apple 2026 MacBook Neo

A laptop is probably the one purchase that'll have the biggest impact on the school year. It'll be there for lectures, late-night assignments, group projects, Netflix binges, and everything in between. The trick is finding one that fits both the workload and the budget. After narrowing down the options, these are the five laptops I'd actually recommend for Back-to-School, whether the priority is getting the most value, joining the Apple ecosystem, or investing in a machine that'll comfortably last through graduation.

These are the compact printers I’d actually recommend for back-to-school
From dorm room paperwork to instant selfie prints, there's a tiny printer for every need.
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Everything is digital until the one professor who still wants a printed essay, or the lease you need to sign in ink, or the photo you want to stick on your dorm room’s wall. That's usually the exact moment you remember you don't own a printer anymore, and the nearest one is a library machine with a line out the door.

I looked at four compact printers that solve that problem without taking over your desk and breaking the bank. Two are built for documents, one is a proper all-in-one for actual home office work, and one has nothing to do with homework and everything to do with turning your camera roll into something you can hold.

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the webcam lights I’d actually turn on before a Zoom call
From a budget clip light to a proper desk setup, there's a webcam light here for every price.
Head, Person, Face

Between online classes, group project calls, and the occasional job interview over Zoom, your webcam will be doing a lot more heavy lifting in school than it ever did at home. The problem is that most laptop cameras are bad in low light, and a single overhead bulb or a window behind you turns every call into a game of "wait, can you see me okay?"

A good webcam light fixes that faster than moving your whole desk around. I picked five, starting with the most affordable and working up to the one that's genuinely overkill for a Zoom call but still worth knowing about.
